aesthetics. people will perceive the aesthetics more than anything else.
startship troopers is a good example: it satirizes fascism but has the aesthetics of fascism, so thats what people perceive.
the boys was the same when conservatives liked homelander. he is the good looking blue eyed aryan with an epic powerful portrayal and those are usually the heroes.
the ‘good guys’ go in murderous rampages all the time in movies. its just usually framed as a good thing. ‘oh those they killed were evil!’, ‘oh the city they destroyed was for the greater good!’
real life isnt so black and white but they do that same framing irl with varying levels of success.
locking down consoles to games only always felt stupid when they are basically pcs anyway. they should have been multipurpose machines all along instead of walled gardens.
i usually stay away from hollywood and cookie cutter movies and its fine. even then every once in a while something will catch my attention, i think you are just tired of all the really bad movies out there, like your tastes got more refined if you will.
this is what baffles me. its already a huge hit, why bully fans for even more money?
im sure a big part of this success comes from fans doing things like that for free out of sheer passion for it, and nintendo just comes along to stop it…
Okay let me start with two heavy hitters right from the get go and don’t forget these are only personal oppinions and I absolute understand if you like those games. Good for you!...
thats what turns me off them. you simply can’t play online games without being a tryhard sweat anymore. i just want to smoke a joint and chill in my off hours, not get demolished every match if i dont bring in my friends and tryhard at it.
and no commumity servers because that dont make them money
